"Some of the arguments I’ve seen by people who are gender critical, if you start picking away at it, are some of the most misogynistic arguments. Some of the worst abuse I've experienced is from women because they don't see me as feminine enough and doing things a woman should do. People bang on about single sex spaces, but I've had more grief in women's toilets in the past five years than I have had in my life, and it's because I'm not as feminine as 50-year-old Karen expects me to be. That is not a good basis for progress."
